Tuesday. May 10, 1966 Page 4 THE DAILY TAR HEEL Rusk n Vietnamese Elections WASHINGTON (AP) Se cretary of State Dean Rusk said Monday he is confident there will be elections in South Viet Nam next September in a first step toward constitu tional government. Rusk added he does not be lieve the government's ruling generals will stand in the way of eventual civilian rule. And he expressed belief the coun try's rulers are not trying to postpone elections. He said reports that Prem ier Nguyen Cao Ky has de clared he will remain in pow er for at least another year have been misinterpreted to mean that the top man in the governing council of generals is going back on promises to hold elections this year. But Rusk offered no forcast of the timetable for a shift to civilian government in the Southeast Asian war theater. Rusk testified in the glare of television lights at an explos ive renewal of the Senate For eigh Relations Committee's in ternal debate about U. S. pol icy in Asia. He came armed with a le gal brief arguing that there is ample ground within inter national law for the Ameri can stand in the Asian war. Sen. Wayne Morse, D-Ore., fired back a demand that the committee hold a public in quiry into the legality of the. American position. Morse, a persistent foe of American involvement in t h e Vietnamese struggle, insisted the United States is "acting outside the law." For 3 1-2 hours, the debate swurled around the roots of American invoTvement, the treaties, resolutions and dip lomatic decisions that led to the commitment of more than 250,000 American fighting men. Ky's weekend remarks about the government of South 'Viet Nam added a new ingre dient. Sen. J. W. Fulbright, D-Ark., the committee chairman, call ed the premier an irresponsi ble man who could hamper free elections. Morse called him a tyrant. Rusk, glancing at a tran script of Ky's press confer Chou Says US - China War 'Will Have No Boundaries' Tokyo (AP) Red China's Premier Chou En-Lai declar ed th? United States will not be able to pull out of China if a war, conventional or nu clear, broke out on the Main land between tha two coun tries, Peking's New China News Agency (NCNA) said today. In a four - point policy state ment on tho United States, Chou also said if the U. S China war broke out, "It will have no boundaries." In a broadcast monitored here, NCNA said the Chinese Premier made the statement in an interview April 10 with Ejaz Husain, correspondent of the Pakistan newspaper Dawn. NCNA said to other points made by Chou were "China will not take tha initiative to provoke a war with the Unit ed States" and 'The Chinese m?an what they say." Chou said "Should the Unit ed Mates impose a war on China, it can be said with certainty that, once in China, the United States will not be abb to pull out, however many men it may send over and whatever weapons it may use, nuclear weapons includ ed." "Since the 13 million people of southern Viet Nam can cope with over 200,000 U. S. troops, the 650 million people of Chi na can undoubtedly cope with 10 million of them.. No mat ter how many U. S. aggress. or troops may come, they will certainly be annhilated in Chi na," he said. Chou said "some U. S. stra tegists want to bombard Chi na by relying on their air and naval superiority and avoid a ground war. This is wishful thinking. ' "Once the war gets started with air or sea action, it will not be for the United States alone to deecide how the war will continue," he said. "If you can come from the sky, why can t we fight back on the ground?" he asked, and said: "That is why we say the war will have no boundar ies once it breaks out." Chou continued: "China has not sent any troops to Hawaii; it is the United States that has occup ied China's territory of Tai wan Province (Formosa, Na tionalist China's island base) "Nevertheless, China has been making efforts in de ExDresses Faith JL ence which he acknowledg ed could be incomplete said Ky had not declared elections for a national assembly would be postponed. "The most immediate elec tion is an election for a con stituent assembly," Rusk said. He said that would choose a constitution - drafting body. A national assembly, with legislating power, wuld be a future step. Rusk argued that Ky's statement referred to elections for a national as sembly. He contended Ky was saying merely that balloting would not come until next year after a constituion and elec tion laws are adopted. ". . . Some interpretations may have been overdrawn," he said of reports on the Ky statement. "I think there will be an election for a constituent as sembly in September," he said. Rusk said the Ky regime is moving toward those elections now. "I don't know of any one out there who has indi cated that the government is not proceeding ..." he said. Rusk said Viet Nam is in a situation like that which fac ed the infant American Re public before the U. S. Con stitution was written. And he told Fulbright that the United States does not seek to dictate the shape of a fu ture civilian government. Ful bright said Rusk has declar ed such a government could not be Communist. "I didn't say they couldn't be," Rusk said. He said he is confident South Viet Nam would not choose a Commun ist regime. "Why aren't we more anxi ous to have an election, ra ther than putting it off?" said Fulbright. "We support elections," Rusk said. "We support free elections in South Viet Nam. ." "We hope they'll reach a ba sic constitutional settlement out there," he said. "But it isn't easy. "Chances are they'll be able to reach that," he added. "And I. do not believe the generals will stand in the way of their reaching that kind of settlement." manding, through negotiations, that the UnHed States with draw all its armed forc es from Taiwan Province and the Taiwan Straits, and she has held talks with the Unit ed States for more than 10 years, first in Geneva and then in Warsaw, on this ques tion of principle, which admits of no concession whatsoever. All this serves as a eery good proof. Music Major William Robinson, a senior music major, has been award ed a Woodrow Wilson fellow ship for graduate study at Yale. The University plans to con tinue the grant after the first year. Robinson was also of fered a Danforth fellowship and a Princeton National Fellowship. DAILY CROSSWORD ACROSS 1. Navigates 6.

Before reading the one on the legal aspects, Rusk said it was a brief summary of a detailed treatment of this sub ject prepared earlier. Both reports stemmed from Senate questions posed when he testified April 18. And Rusk seemed puzzled when Fulbright said he regretted the war question had been raised. But Fulbright a sharp cri tic of the American stance, bored in on the Vietnamese issue himself, saying it wuld be hard to act on the $3.4 billion AID bill without pon dering the war question at the same time. AID Administrator David E. Bell was at Rusk's side. In general, Republican Sen ators did their talking on the AID bill. They steered clear of the Democratic debate about the war. Rusk said the American commitment to Viet Nam had its beginnings in the days af ter World War II, when Har ry S. Truan was President. "We considered throughout the post war period that we had an important stake in the security and stability of the nations of Southeast Asia," he said. Legally, he said, the Unit ed States is on firm ground. "Military actions of the United States in support of South Viet Nam, including air attacks on North Viet Nam, are authorized under interna tional law by the well - es tablished principle of collec tive defense against armed ag gression," he said. And he said there is nothing in Amer ican or international law that requires a declaration of war to authorize the American mil itary action in Southeast Asia. Morse said that is uncon scionable, and demanded an inquiry on the legal issues. Fulbright said later the com mittee will decide Thursday whether to hold such hearings. The Chinese mean what they say. In other words, if any country in Asia, Africa or elsewhere meets with ag gression by the imperialists headed by the United States, the Chinese government and people definitely will give it support and help. Should such just action bring on U. S. ag gression against China, we will unhesitatingly rise in resis tance and fight to the end." Awarded The Whitmire, S. C, stud ent plans to work toward the M.

And he made clear his message was aimed at the television audience "the people wat ching this program." Morse said only the congres sional elections next fall can stem escalation of the war in Viet Nam. "I close by saying to the American people: you can only do it with your bal lots," Morse said, "You can meet the bullets with your bal lots." Rusk spent most of his time defending the arguments he sounded in his opening ac count or flicking his horn rimmed glasses off and on while his Senate critics and champions argued the case. Sen. Gale McGee, D-Wyo., said some foes of the U. S. stand in Viet Nam have been talking in extreme terms. "Those in the Congress who are supporting the escalation of this war are the extremists in America," Morse retorted. Senatorial tempers flared at times. Sen. Frank J. Lausche, D-Ohio, sought to come to Rusk's defense and Fulbright cut him short. "Will the sena tor he quiet for a moment," the chairman snapped. When McGee, newest mem ber of the committee, accus ed critics of putting Rusk on trial, Fulbright replied: "We're delighted to have you come here to give us instructions."

Truman got a lot of nice compliments at his 82nd birth day celebration yesterday, but nothing seemed to delight him so much as when President Johnson told him by tele phone: "I understand that you think I have more important things to do than wish you a happy birthday. Well, for the first time in your life you are wrong. Mrs. Truamn may know of some other times, but I certainly don't." Beaming broadly, Truman replied: "Well, there has to be a first time for everything." "I want you to know that I'll never be too busy to pay my respects to a great Amer ican," the President said. "I am well aware that you get a little impatient with these annual birthday celebrations. I've often thought you'd rath er have your friends cussing you than praising you. That may be why you became a Democrat." Truman allowed that prob ably was so. Later, comedian Jack Benny got up and said his cl o s e friendship with the former President may cause him to give up show business and go into politics. "George Murphy got elect ed Senator and Ronald Rea gan is willing to start as Gov ernor," Benny said. "I'm thinking of running for Presi dent. Or I may take a lesson from the governor of Alaba ma and have my wife run." Another comedian, George Trum From Gets Greetings President Jcssel, followed Benny and said he can't match Benny's familiarity with presidents. . "I've only known Truman since the days if Woodrow Wil son," Jessel said. "Bennv knew Jefferson." There was a genuine feel ing of affection for Truman by the more than 400 digni taries and old cronies who gathered at the birthdav lun cheon. Truman, perceptibly aged, confined his remarks to a few words of thanks. President Johnson, in t h e phone call amplified to the guests, told of a proclamation he signed todav "the admiration and gratitude in tin me people. The proclamation lauds Tru man for devoting "himself un ceasingly to the cause of free dom, peace and the better ment of his fellow man." "Harry S. Truman's deep concern for the well - being of each individual American will never be surpassed by any President. His wise and passionate pursuit of justice, opportunity and security for every citizen set an example which every President of the United States will strive to emulate so long as the nation and the presidency shall en dure. "And it has won him a per manent place in the hearts of his countrymen." Johnson said Truman, like George Washington will al ways be first in the hearts of his . countrymen. Truman was flanked by the flags of 30 nations at the head I I Jt"& ; , , ,si ."T" r SS.S ' '4 ' ' I f I I I Vf' 0 I I I X:. :: :W:v.w .;, .wif : I , ' I Johnson table.
